This has taken place in a period of rapid cultural modernization. This article will discuss Norwegian young adult and children's literature from the perspective of social and cultural theory. The paper will go beyond the strictly aesthetic field and discuss young adult and children's literature from the perspectives of three internally related, though different continental modern theories, two of them left Hegelian. One of the great names of this school of theory of socialization is Thomas Ziehe, German theorist of "Sozialisationstheorie", Ziehe gives some clues for a new description of the implied readers inscribed in this literature. Axel Honneth is another theorist who has implications for general humaniora. His theory of recognition, fruitful for social sciences, may also give a clue for a metatheory of literature. Young adult and children's literature is also subject to changes of simulacric order and of the cultural disorder of the age of extremes, as Jean Baudrillard wrote about in his book The Transparency of Evil.展开更多

In the tide of globalization and information technology, geopolitics has become an important subject for global pattern interpretation and policy making. It is essentially important to have a scientific and systematic review on international geopolitics to promote its development. Based on the bibliometric statistics, the paper reviews the research development of geopolitics on the Web of Science from 1996 to 2015. The history, journals, papers and key research areas of geopolitics have been revealed in the paper. By the analysis of bibliometric statistics, the number of papers recently published in the journals of political geography and related geography journals continues to increase. The key areas of geopolitical papers which are globally highly cited include geopolitical interpretation of the countries and borders, critical geopolitics, emotional geopolitics, feminist geopolitics and other topics. Before the year of 2000, the state and borders were hot topics of the geopolitical research. Yet since 2000, it has been the trend that the geopolitics is increasingly set in the context of geographical implications. At the same time, critical geopolitics appears to be the main area of geopolitical research, especially transitioning from traditional geopolitics towards the humanism-embeddedness(such as emotional geopolitics, feminist geopolitics). The paper then systematically reviews the branch trends of geopolitical research, including the borders and the territory, global geo-culture and geo-economics, Chinese models of geopolitics, resource conflicts and ecological politics, as well as emotional geopolitics. Finally, it puts forward the implication that Chinese geopolitical studies should reinforce the importance of geographical space and scale, use the process of description and multiple methods, as well as integrate humanistic thoughts, in order to further enrich the theories and practices of geopolitical research.展开更多
